This side event will focus on the importance of transboundary ecosystem restoration in addressing the Triple Planetary Crises:  Climate change, Biodiversity loss and Pollution.

Expected Outcomes
  • Provide participants with a better understanding of missions, work and practices of both the Water Convention and the Ramsar Convention, their compatibility and cooperation.
  • Learn how transboundary ecosystem restoration supports sustainable development, livelihoods, tackling biodiversity loss and pollution, building climate resilience, and enabling carbon sinks. 
  • Learn about the guidelines, tools, and expertise that the Conventions offer and will thus empower participants to take action in their national contexts.
  • Facilitate the establishment of new networks, partnerships, and valuable connections to enhance transboundary ecosystem restoration and join forces to tackle the planetary crises we are currently facing.
